Classic Easy Lumpia Phillipino Eggroll Recipes

LUMPIA (FILIPINO SPRING ROLLS)

Steps:

• Using a serrated knife, cut the square lumpia wrappers in half so that you have two stacks of rectangular wrappers. Place a damp paper towel over the wrappers to keep them from drying out as you work.
• Combine the pork, cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, chicken bouillon powder (if using), eggs, and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, or a rubber spatula, mix the filling well so that the seasonings are evenly distributed.
• Place one of the rectangular wrappers vertically on your work surface with the short edge facing you. Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling on the wrapper about half an inch from the edge closest to you. Grasp the bottom edge of the wrapper and roll it up and over the filling, continuing to roll until 2 inches of wrapper remain.
• Dip two fingers into a bowl of water, then moisten the last 2 inches of wrapper with your fingers. Finish rolling the lumpia, then rest it on its seam. Continue rolling with the rest of the filling and lumpia wrappers.
• At this point, you can freeze your rolled lumpia if you wish by placing them in freezer bags and then into your freezer.
• To cook the lumpia, fill a large frying pan with about 1/2-inch of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Gently place the lumpia into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total (if frying frozen lumpia, it will take 1 to 2 minutes longer).
• Place the fried lumpia on paper towels and serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce or chili sauce (bottled from the store is fine).

TRADITIONAL FILIPINO LUMPIA

Steps:

• Place a wok or large skillet over high heat, and pour in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cook pork, stirring frequently, until no pink is showing. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Drain grease from pan, leaving a thin coating. Cook garlic and onion in the same pan for 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked pork, carrots, green onions, and cabbage. Season with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Remove from heat, and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Place three heaping tablespoons of the filling diagonally near one corner of each wrapper, leaving a 1 1/2 inch space at both ends. Fold the side along the length of the filling over the filling, tuck in both ends, and roll neatly. Keep the roll tight as you assemble. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with water to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat, add oil to 1/2 inch depth, and heat for 5 minutes. Slide 3 or 4 lumpia into the oil. Fry the rolls for 1 to 2 minutes, until all sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

• Once the vegetable cools-off, start to wrap it using the egg roll wrappers. Lay the wrapper flat on a big plate. Place around 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable on one end of the wrapper. Fold the opposite edges of the wrapper and then roll until the vegetables are secured. Seal the end of the wrapper by dipping your finger in water and run it over the end of the wrapper; gently press the wet loose end towards the egg roll.
• Heat the remaining cooking oil in a cooking pot. Once the oil gets hot, fry one side of the egg rolls in medium heat until the color of the wrapper turns golden brown. Flip the egg roll to cook the opposite side.

LUMPIA (FILIPINO EGG ROLL)

• Brown beef and pork, until almost completely cooked. Drain fat. Cool and process in food processor or chop up into fine pieces (like Taco Bell taco meat or a little coarser) with fork.
• Combine meats, vegetables, egg, sauces, pepper in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for flavors to set inches I like to prepare my filling the day before so it can marinate all night.
• Prepare wrapper (by separating) and place on a separate plate. Place 1 to 2 T of filling in the center of the wrapper.
• Fold left edge over all the way, then bring down top and bottom, then roll the rest of the way to the right, making a roll. hard to explain without a picture, but you'll figure it out -- looks like an egg roll when done, only thinner and longer. Seal with with flour and water mixture.
• After you have assembled all the lumpia, heat your oil (I use the deep fryer) to 375 degrees. Cook until golden brown, turning often, approximately 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
• Note: the wrapper packages usually have instructions for rolling the wrap. Times vary by experience and methods used.

CLASSIC EASY LUMPIA (PHILLIPINO EGGROLL)

Steps:

• In a large Wok (or deep fry pan) cook the ground beef and garlic until no longer pink. Drain and poor meat into Large Bowl.
• Finely shred potatoes, carrots and celery ( the finer the better, large pieces will poke holes in the very thin wrappers).
• Pour all shredded vegetables into meat and mix all ingredients together.
• set aside a sheet pan to lay your rolled lumpia's.
• lay flat one lumpia wrapper at a time.
• take about a table teaspoon (not a measured tea spoon) of the meat/veggie mixture and place in the upper/middle of the wrapper.
• fold over top of wrapper over top of mixture, pull back with wrapper to help pull the mixture in tight. Fold in the left side, roll forward once, then fold in the right side and roll forward once, you should now still have a small area of wrapper left, using a basting brush (or fingers) dip your hands into the egg whites and lightly baste the end, finish rolling forward. The egg whites should wet the warpper enough to seal it, but not soak through and make it soggy. Lay aside.
• Once you are finished wrapping heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350-375. Carefully drop in with fry basket or with metal tongs. These should fry for about 3-5 minutes or until a light golden brown. Let drain on paper towels, lightly salt, serve.
• These go well with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or just plain.
• **tips.
• be careful not to overload the lumpia wrapper, they tear very easily and are pretty much useless once you tear them.
• when cooking the ground beef, use a mic and chop type motion to help make the pieces as small as possible .
• Freezer friendly- you can put these into ziplock nags and freeze. I usually use the gallon size bags and put about 7 vertically in the bag (with the ends facing up).i lightly let all the air out, zip, and fold the excess bag over, then stack them in the freezer.

LUMPIA - FILIPINO SHRIMP AND PORK EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix the ground pork, shrimp, onion, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and MSG in a bowl until well combined.
• Pull a wrapper off the stack, and cover the remaining wrappers with a damp cloth. Place the wrapper on a work surface. Place a thin line, about the width of your little finger, across one side of the wrapper, 1/2 inch from the edge of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, and seal the edges with egg white. Repeat making rolls with the remaining wrappers and filling, and cut the rolls into thirds.
• Heat the oil in a heavy pan or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep-fry 3 or 4 lumpia at a time, turning once, until the rolls float and turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.
